It’s all a very silly context of course - narratively, the game is absolutely more Neptunia than Senran Kagura - but Neptunia x Senran Kagura plays things admirably straight. And from hereon, a new alliance is formed as our heroines take on the might of the Steeme Legion, led by Yoh Gamer and her sidekick Tetsuko. As with most things in the Neptunia series, all these things are references Heartland and Compa are references to Neptunia developer Compile Heart, while Marveland and Honeypa are references to Senran Kagura publisher and developer Marvelous and Honey Parade Games respectively.ĭuring the initial battle, an unknown third party attacks using mechanical soldiers, forcing the Heartland and Marveland forces to team up with one another against this new threat. Neptunia x Senran Kagura opens with the two countries’ representatives having one of their many battles - the Four Ninja Goddesses of Heartland’s “Compa Style” (Neptune, Noire, Vert and Blanc) are facing off against the Four Shinobi of Marveland’s “Honeypa Style” (Asuka, Homura, Yumi and Miyabi). This time around we’re not in the Hyper Dimension, the Super Dimension, the Heart Dimension or any of the others we’ve seen in previous titles - we’re in a whole new world where the land of “Gameninjustri”, as it is known here, is shaped like a giant shuriken, and where the country of Heartland has been at war with its neighbour Marveland for as long as most people can remember. Like many of the previous Neptunia spinoffs, Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars unfolds in one of the many parallel dimensions that we’ve seen in the Neptunia series to date. But it is a very good thing indeed - and so if you’re a fan of either (or, more likely, both) series you won’t want to pass this one up. Neptunia x Senran Kagura is, as you might expect, not that new mainline installment for either series.
